THE OXFORD TREASURY OF FAIRY TALES

The title suggests a comprehensive collection, and this production richlyfulfills one's expectations. Here you'll find staples such as "Rapunzel" and "Sleeping Beauty," along with lesser known but equally interesting tales such as "The Flower of Love" and "The Four Friends." This collection is beautifully told by two narrators, Richard Morant and Eve Karpf, both of whom are equally good at creating the many fanciful characters who inhabit these fairy tales. The stories are full of imagination and embellished with the sort of details children love. A worthy addition to a family's listening library, this production will keep all ages of children interested for hours, and parents will relish the experience along with them. J.C.G.
